DESCRIPTION: This 18 month full-time post-doctoral position would entail working with the project PIs (James Macinko, Diana Silver, and Maurizio Porfiri) and joining a multidisciplinary research team (including faculty and staff from public health, public policy, health economics, engineering, and law) to advance the objectives of two NIH-funded grants that explore the evolution, diffusion, and impact of public policies on alcohol-related outcomes among US states. Project aims include: 1) characterization of trajectories of state health policy adoptions; 2) identification of factors associated with the evolution of state health policy diffusion over time; and 3) use of network-based models and econometric approaches to estimate the impact of combinations of state health laws on a range of alcohol-related outcomes.
